Making Healthy Humans: Your Baby Needs You

Making Healthy Humans

Your Baby Needs You

by R. Ayana

Biological Reality Trumps
Egocentric Thinking

I’ve been unwilling to
write about this for decades. The subject is too challenging for many, and others will be hurt by
any discussion of it. But it’s high time to speak on behalf of generations yet
unborn.

People have equal rights,
and in many ways they have equal responsibilities, but they are not equal.
Everyone is different. The sexes – all of them – are different from each other
(Viva la difference), just as older people are different (but hopefully not
indifferent) to younger people.

The postmodern world is a
minefield of loaded decisions, an obstacle course of poorly delineated choices.
People are expected to maintain themselves and their families amidst an ever
shrinking pool of resources in an ever rising tide of competition. They’re told
to study for years to increase their chances of gaining a foothold in an
outdated, overworked workforce that is progressively – thankfully – being
replaced by computers and robots.

And as everyone knows,
the whole game is rigged. There’s only room for a very small number at the
pinnacles of societies, and these positions are filled by blood-linked family
members, not by timeserving, hard working, self-enslaved allegedly human mice
raised on treadmills. The system is obviously unfair; a method of enforced
inequality. There is no way to beat it through honest labour and toil.

Yet generations scrabble
for purchase, knocking each other from the ‘ladder of success’ in pursuit of
dreams that can never be fulfilled, sacrificing everything that’s truly
important for a transient, illusory bunch of pottage.

In pursuit of money,
power, kudos and careers many people have abandoned life itself. They’ve almost
literally thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

We can do everything
differently if we choose. We have the technology and ability, but do we have
the will? If everyone keeps working to maintain these rotten systems designed
by heartless industrialists and implemented by halfwit politicians and soulless
bureaucrats, how can anything change?

Why not jump off the
treadmill now? Right now? Take a real leap of faith and escape. Your timing has
to be good. You need to land on your feet. and you may need to take some or all
of your loved ones with you – or harder still, leave them on the rat wheel if
they so choose. But you can do it!

Real change comes from changing your life.

The only way to really
change anything is to change the way you live – and no man or woman is an island. When you
change your beliefs and lifestyle, it can alter everything and everyone around
you.

Now for the painful news;
you are a primate with a limited lifespan and an even more limited period of
fertility. Women are not the same as men. Longevity and regeneration research
may change these facts in part or whole any time now, but at present we are
still locked into the same certain biological realities and prerogatives as our
ancestors.

Hard truths, Simple Choices

Women: The longer you put
off having babies,
the worse it will be for you and them. Your body (and mind) will be heavily
stressed if you have a child too young – before your body is fully formed You
and your child will be even more stressed and unfortunate if you have your
first child too late.

Blame god or goddess if
you’re so inclined, but the truth is that the best time to have your first
child is between the ages of 18 and 25. The longer you wait the higher your
chance of breast or reproductive cancers – partly due to the incessant tides of
hormonal chemicals coursing through the bodies of those who are not perpetually
pregnant (as nature and nurture have designed human women to be).

High infant mortality
rates dogged human tribes and evolution until very recent times – less than a century in fact. The unfortunate
truth is that women’s bodies have evolved to be pregnant for most of their
adult lives. Potent and potentially damaging hormones circulate more thoroughly
when women are not pregnant. These can and do damage the body’s tissues. While
very few women want to be trapped in this position in the postmodern world, female
reproductive systems have evolved in this milieu.

The younger a woman has
her first child and begins breast feeding the better her chances of avoiding
breast and uterine cancers. Look it up. Ask your docturd* if you must, but
they’ll ‘inform’ you that these problems can be solved if you lower your
hormone levels by taking synthetic hormones or other toxic drugs – if you
really want to stay on their soulless treadmill.

Having babies while
relatively young is healthy – having your first child when older is not. It’s
also unfair on your children and grandchildren. Older mothers may well have
more experience of living, but that doesn’t mean they have more to offer young
lives, or more life or liveliness to offer; the opposite is true.

Don’t underestimate the
changes a human body must go through during pregnancy. If you wait until after
25 to have your first child your body
will have a much harder time of it. If you have your first child before this point your body will adapt to childbearing
much more readily. You will be more flexible and remain more flexible for
subsequent pregnancies.

Around one third of all
pregnancies end in caesarean sections in the postmodern world. This is obscene
and unsustainable; it will lead to less and less women being capable of
childbirth if allowed to continue for more generations. Very few caesareans are
medically necessary. The majority occur because docturd obstetricians don’t
want to hang around for the many hours required in many natural childbirths,
and caesareans make it possible to spit out patient after profitable patient
far more rapidly (and, they’ll tell you, more safely).

Excessive caesareans also
occur more frequently because ‘postmodern’ women are far less attuned to their
bodies than hitherto, and have far less experience of childbirth among family
and friends. They are understandable afraid of pain and suffering. And more
caesareans and epidurals occur because traditional midwives – along with their
hard won knowledge of pain amelioration – have been almost entirely replaced by
moneygrubbing docturds and co-opted registered nurses. Women have far fewer
experienced women that they can trust to turn to than at any time in human
history.

And of course, the later
you have your first child the less children you’ll probably have. Your chances
of conceiving at all become much lower by your early thirties; by your forties
they’ve almost disappeared altogether. And don’t imagine that advances in
fertility research will help you – only a very small percentage of women who
attempt to have children using those means ever actually bear a child, and the
children they do bear are DAMAGED.

Eggs have a shelf life.
You’re born with your full complement of them, and they are easily damaged.
Although you bear enough to last for hundreds of thousands of years of monthly
cycles, in practice they’re all done and dusted in a very few decades.

Child CARE?

Until women are free to
choose how many (or
in practice how few) children they will bear, societies are trapped in
barbarism. Within a generation of women gaining freedom in work and
reproductive choices, societies begin to become progressively more fair,
advanced and sane.

But bureaucrats, empire
builders and plutocrats inevitable try to take advantage of women’s freedoms
and twist them to advantage themselves. They see an expanding workforce and
expanding tax base where others imagine freedom. They convince women that
becoming more isolated and looking after themselves to the exclusion of others
is in their own interests. They tell women that nursing and nurturing are for
suckers and that everyone is better off looking after themselves - alone. What
a crock.

Until recently it was
fairly easy for families in ‘developed’ countries to survive – even thrive – on
a single income. Circumstances have been altered to ensure this doesn’t easily
happen anymore, and somehow, even with rising living standards and ever
increasing automation, everyone is expected to work more, not less – and at
least two incomes are required to maintain a household!

What a scam, when by
rights all of us should be experiencing far higher levels of freedom and far
more leisure time – quality time to devote to our families and ourselves– than
ever before!

You can blame the
banksters or politicians for this wage slave mess, but the choice to play or
not play their game is always yours and, despite what their minions tell you,
there are always alternatives.

Carer Not Careering

A career is what happens
to a vehicle that’s out of control, tearing away downhill without steering or brakes. A
career is an illusion. Children are real. Many people can’t tell the difference
between illusion and reality. Can you?

Do you really think that
the best you can come up with is to spend the best years of your life in boring
concrete blockhouses ‘learning’ – to get a ‘job’ that may or may not be there
when you’ve finally racked up enough student debt to enter the work farce? Is
this really the behaviour of
intelligent people? If you do, it may be better if you don’t breed, and leave
the important job of creating and moulding the human race to those more suited
to do it.

No doubt the ancestors
who struggled for billions of years to put you where you are today will
understand if you prefer to throw it all away in your single lifetime. Surely.

Haven’t you seen Idiocracy?

What will you do when
you’re old? Do you want to be too old to play with your grandchildren – or even
your children? Don’t imagine things get easier as you age. They don’t. If you
have a child at fifty your child will probably be presented with the dilemma of
taking care of you or their own offspring in another twenty years or so. It may
well be that advances in regeneration and longevity techniques will render
these arguments redundant, but for now they’re still the staple of human
experience.

We humans exist in tribal
groupings that thrive when adhering to an age-old pact; adults look after their
children to the exclusion of much else for their first few years – and when
they are old, the converse is true. Children look after their parents in their
dotage. And all this is made much easier if you have an ‘extended family’ of
uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents to help share the load of young and
old. Sane adults want to share time with their grandchildren, nephews and
nieces. Many can even be trusted alone with them!

Sane children and adults
can rarely result from the efforts of an isolated, stressed-out overworked
couple – or a solo parent. Everyone needs help, and children profit from having
a number of role models in their lives – having only two, or one, just isn’t
enough for a healthy personality to develop and the totality of unsupported
commitment drives many solo parenting couples insane!

How can you have an
extended family if everyone has one child – or if they wait until their late
thirties to have them? You can’t. It’s that simple. How can you thrive as a
single parent?

The term ‘childcare’ is
an obscenity, virtually an oxymoron in the postmodern world. Only those who
don’t, can’t or won’t care for their children think they need ‘childcare’.
Childcare centres are the modern version of nannies. The bestthat can be said for them is that they’re
better than nothing, but they’re never an adequate substitute for real (biological
or intentional) families loving and devoting time to and with her real actual
baby. Those who tell you otherwise are liars and/or pinheads.

Living with good friends
in a shared household can be the same as (or even better than) living with an
extended family. If we want to live in the equivalent of an extended family all
we need to learn and decide is how and what to share. What we really need to do
is avoid overpopulation while maintaining the equivalent of extended families.
We need to rebuild the retroactive nuclear family households into structures
that can accommodate extended groups of likeminded family and friends. We need
to redesign our dwellings and lifestyles. We need to become smarter and more
compassionate in the ways we choose to live.

“There is no success without cooperation.”

-R.
Doyle

And we need to do it, not just think about it. Now.
This year – this season - not next decade.

Come the Day

One day – perhaps soon -
longevity research may render all these arguments obsolete. Let’s hope that day comes soon,
for all our sakes. But until then, let’s all help our sisters and brothers to
cope with the world we’ve inherited – and build the best of all possible worlds
for all our children!

Don’t choose to be a wage
slave. Don’t get into debt to the banksters or you’ll have little choice but to
be sucked into the game they’ve set up for you and set you up for.

What does freedom mean?
Does it mean putting off freedom until some far-flung time in the future for
the sake of mindless wage slavery to some fat gormless bankster or opinionated
control freak boss today?

No. It doesn’t. Your life
is slipping away day by day. Even as you read this your choices are narrowing.
Don’t put off the most important things for the sake of imaginary future
security. You know what they say about those who are willing to sacrifice
freedom for ‘security’…

We need to knock down
some of the walls between our nuclear family bunkers, install windows to air
out our bunker mentalities and emplace doorways to balance our need for sharing
and privacy. We need to redesign our lives and living spaces if we’re to
THRIVE.

Love is all you need. Turn
on. Tune in. But above all OPT OUT of the noxious screened cocoon of postmodern
concrete that bars you from the real living world. We can create much better
realities together than we ever can apart.

Do it now – and remember;
we are our great grandchildren!

*Too
few appreciate the fact that ‘modern’ medicine is OFFICIALLY the third
highest cause of death – and underreporting means that it’s quite
possibly the MAJOR cause of death and illness! Most doctors are merely
brainwashed shock troops for Big Pharma. Under these circumstances,
undue and undeserved respect for self-appointed authorities like doctors
is dangerous and stupid. Calling them docturds removes the aura of
omnipotence and infallibility these money-gouging incompetents demand
from their helpless victims. Respect needs to be earned – it can’t be
automatic. Mistrusting these lying, cheating vultures is far safer than
trusting them!
